Route description

Above the Borjomi visitor centre, this woodland path offers a compact introduction to the national park. This version starts at the upper junction: it first circles the wooded slope containing the St Nino church site, returns to the familiar junction and then descends towards the visitor-centre approach. Pause among the trees at the church site to examine the surviving remains without stepping onto unstable edges. During the descent, the proximity of woodland to the town street becomes especially clear. The ascent from the centre to this upper start needs its own allowance; register with the park administration before visiting.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Public transport reaches Borjomi, but this version starts at a woodland junction above the visitor centre and requires a separate ascent. Uneven slopes need secure walking; the park’s official pet prohibition applies. Mobile signal is unconfirmed.

Nearby

Gogia Fortress and the town’s sulfur pools need separate walks in other Borjomi directions. They are outside this forest circuit. After registration, the visitor centre can help select a longer park continuation.

Getting there

By car
The administration identifies the visitor centre on Meskheti Street. Agree a vehicle drop-off at the centre; vehicle access to the upper woodland start is unconfirmed. Allow separately for the ascent before this selected descent.
Parking
At present, there is no confirmed parking information for this outing. Ask the administration about vehicle storage beforehand; do not leave a car on the woodland approach without agreement.
